Passage 1 Discovering London
This Full Day tour of London starts with a guided tour of Westminster Abbey. Here,
you see impressive monuments to kings, queens, famous scientists, musicians, poets and the Unknown Warrior. At the heart of the Abbey, you will see the Stone of Scone under the Coronalion Chair made in 1301, and on which our kings and queens have been crowned since1066, and where many state weddings and funerals have taken place.
As the tour continues your guide will point out the famous icons of London, including Big Ben and the Parliament buildings, Whitehall, Downing Street, the London home of the Prime Minister, and Trafalgar Square where looking up you will see Nelson on his column (202ft high) before visiting Buckingham Palace for the colorful Changing of the Guard ceremony. Back on our coach we see the exclusive district of Mayfair and Piccadilly Circus, the heart of London's West End with its theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants and shops, before reaching out traditional London Pub for your included lunch.
Your afternoon starts with a visit to the City of London, the world-famous financial
center that is dominated by the great dome of St Paul's Cathedral. The City of London was
the site of the original Roman city, founded some 200 years ago. Here you will see the
Mansion House (home lo ibc Lord Mayor of London) and The Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street (the Bank of England).
The Tower of London awaits. Here we meet the magnificent beefeaters dressed in their
Tudor uniform. You will hear the legend of the ravens and some frightening tales from the
Tower's 900-year history. A visit to the Jewel House, which displays the Crown Jewels, is
a "must".
Our full day finishes with a cruise on London's famous River Thames, during which a
Thames Waterman will point out places of interest along the way. Your cruise will end at Westminster Pier where you rejoin your coach.
When services prohibit a visit inside Westminster Abbey, your tour will visit St Paul~s
Cathedral or the Chapter House. At certain times during the year there may be no Changing
of the Guard. On these occasions you will still see Buckingham Palace, and visit Horse
Guards Parade.

11. A ceremony which has become a tourist attraction A. The Westminster Abbey
taking place in front of Buckingham Palace.
12. The place where you may see many monuments to B. the City of London
kings and queens and their weddings and funerals.

nightclubs, restaurants and shops.

questions each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that

Passage 2
The media can impact current events. As a graduate at Berkeley in the 1960s, I
remember experiencing the events related to the People~ s Park that were occurring on
campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I
found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions
obtained from the news media. I could begin to see how events of that time were reported on
news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions
between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day. People
gather more and more of their impression from representations. Television and telephone
communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic
city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day and also the
contact you have with others simply by using telephone, these media extend your
When services prohibit a visit inside Westminster Abbey, your tour will visit St Paul's

Passage 2
The media can impact current events. As a graduate at Berkeley in the 1960s, I
remember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurring on
campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I
found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions
obtained from the news media. I could begin to see how events of that time were reported on
news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions
between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day. People
gather more and more of their impression from representations. Television and telephone
communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic
city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day and also the
contact you have with others simply by using telephone, these media extend your
consciousness and your contact. For example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco
Earthquake focused on "live action" such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the
viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed
immediacy； CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed
worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some
perception of these realities.
In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots (暴乱) broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by the verdict (判决) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the
public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most
people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury was able
to acquit (宣判无罪) the policemen involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also
provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it
seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angles. By Friday night the public got to see
Rodney King on television pleading "Can we all get along?" By Saturday, television seemed
to provide positive feedback as the Los Angles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The
television showed more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding on
television. The real healing, of course, will take much longer, but electronic media will
continue to be a part of that process.
16. The best title for this passage is
A. The 1992 Los Angeles Riots
B. The Impact of Media on Current Events
C. The 1989 San Francisco Earthquake and the 1992 Los Angles Riots
D. How Media Cover Events

impression of total disaster
